There’s a fairly good chance that malicious bots wouldn’t pay attention to your robots.txt though, which means that keeping those blocks in place purely for that reason would probably be pointless.

Glad to know we could help ??

Hi Denny

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I’m not certain what could be causing the issue on your side, but you can drop our support team a line at [email protected] – please include as much information as you can – your domain, the theme you are using and any screenshots of the problem (you can post the same one you posted earlier), since this will help us diagnose, and hopefully resolve the issue for you.

Regards
Jaydon

Hi dionealves

Unfortunately HeroMaps doesn’t include this kind of functionality.

We are planning to add this function to our premium version of HeroMaps which is currently in development.

Hi Anthony

I think I’ll ask the guys to give that label a relook, because I can see how it might be a little confusing ??

I can’t give you a definite date on our slider just yet – we’re basically completely rebuilding our original slider from the ground up to make use of the same framework we have in place with Maps and our premium Menu plugin.

We will most definitely shoot out an e-mail when it launches, so if you would like to you can sign up to our newsletter on the Hero Plugins website (the form is at the bottom of the home page), so you can hear about it as soon as it happens.

I’ll pass your compliments along to the rest of the team – they always appreciate hearing back from happy users ??

Hi Anthony

When you are in the settings tab for your map, there is an option called Auto Fit that is usually on by default. When you switch it off, it should give you the option to set the default map center and zoom for yourself.

Let us know if this solves the issue for you.

With regards to the syntax error you picked up, I’ll forward it to our devs and get them to take a look at it – thanks for letting us know ??

Regards
Jaydon

Hey flobogo

I’ve let the devs know about the thread, so they will have to come back to you on questions 1 and 4, but I can address 2 and 3 so long.

The Controls section merely allows you to switch on/off various controls that you can usually find on Google Maps – such as the scale, zoom controls, overview and so forth. You can switch them on and off to see what each switch does on the map preview above.

On question 3 – In the Settings section, there is an option called Auto Fit. It is ON by default when you create a map, and what it attempts to do is to Zoom your map to a point where all your markers are visible when the map loads. However, if you only have one marker it will automatically go to maximum zoom, which results in what you see.

If you switch it to OFF, a button will appear below it: Get Map Center and Zoom. Simply Zoom and move your map to the point you want it to be when the page loads, and click that button, and that will be the default zoom for your map.

Hope this helps you – I’ll get the dev team to get back to you on your other two questions.
